My Project

My students are amazing teenagers who have decided to return to class and continue their education after dropping out for years. Their inconsistent learning has left them reading well below grade level, and some, who are SIFE, can hardly read. This project aims to change that. With the right intervention, students can quickly learn to read and understand text.

The materials requested will support intervention classes by providing tailored strategies to address specific challenges, such as decoding words or comprehension.

These tools will also make learning fun, motivating students to practice more and improve their skills. Additionally, they will allow for personalized learning, enabling students to work at their own pace and get the exact help they need. This will build their confidence, encouraging them to keep trying and learning as they see their skills improve.
